I cut a couple of 2x4 blocks and a couple of 20 inch long 1x4's.
The front edge of the table saw is contoured so I cut the front 2x4 to fit in the guide.
I then took a 3/4" piece of pipe and a 3/4" pipe clamp set and measured where they would grab the table and marked the 2x4's at that height.
I then drilled a hole in each of the blocks, screwed the sides to the blocks, put the pipe in and held my breath.
It worked!!!
It slides smoothly and is square. I need to put a top piece on the box. That will keep it square and solid. Now I can safely cut boards on the saw.
I built it out of scraps I had so there was really no cost involved.
Now if I need to cut taller boards I can build a support that goes over the fence and feel secure.
